Back in the day, I use to do that first section multiple times a month because I loved that combo so much. I would always shoot for 10 rounds. Now, everyone is so much more advanced that we have to add a second part these days… But… For old time sake… Make it rain on part 1 for me?? Who’s got 10+ rounds in them!?

You may switch between the bike, row, or ski at anytime. You may also stay on the same cardio piece the whole time. If you can not do the weights prescribed that’s ok, just try and increase the weight to something a little heavier each time.
*You may not finish this, so scale accordingly if you know you’re going to be on the slow side 😉

Short on time? You can kip the whole last section instead of strict reps. If you want to try and complete it strict but you just can’t hit those numbers yet, you can shoot for 10 rounds of 3 and 3 or something like that to keep you moving but more sustainable reps.

*DOUBLE PROGRESSION MODEL
The goal on these movements is to get ALL 3 sets for 8 reps. Once you can do that, you add 5% to the bar NEXT TIME. That new load should knock you down to 3 sets at 6-7 reps, but eventually, you will be strong enough to do it for 3 sets of 8 again (might take a week or 2). Then we add another 5% and repeat the process.
Example:
NOTE: 3 x 6 x 95 means 3 working sets, 6 reps performed per set, and 95 is the weight used for each set, for sake of the example.
Week 1 — 3 x 6 x 95lbs
Week 2 — 3 x 7 x 95lbs
Week 3 — 3 x 8 x 95lbs.
Week 4 — 3 x 6 x 100lbs.
Week 5 — 3 x 7 x 100lbs.
Week 6 — 3 x 8 x 100lbs.
and so on….
————————————————-
NO WARM UP SETS are included in any of these sets and reps, so be sure to do 1-2 sets in each section to get warm, but do not count them as “working sets.”
Looking for a 1 rep max today to see where everyone is at after this past cycle. I recommend the rep scheme above, but you’re welcome to do whatever you like to hit it. You should be able to hit your max in about 5-6 total sets. So make appropriate jumps.
NO BENDING THOSE KNEES TODAY. It’s STRICT.
Big breathe. Elbows down. DRIVE!
